A Snake Story on the Good Old Plan
and as True as Ever.
From TIE Doylesto,cn Democrat.

From TIE Doylestotcn Democrat.
Abner 0. Crouthamel, of Keller's Church,
Bedmininister township, is strictly tenn
perate man. 1t was on Sunday afternoon,
April "a, A. D. 1887, that that gentleman
strolled through Jordan A. Snyder's woods
enjoying the warm sunshine and balmy
breezes An adventure in that peaceful nook
of nature did not enter Mr.. Crouthamels
mind; yet it is the unexpected that is always
happening As he walked quietly over the
leafy mold, through which an occasional
rash wild flower had raised its pretty head
in defiance of frost and snow, his atten-
tention was attracted by a peculiar noise.
He turned and looked in the direction
from whence the noise proceeded and
beheld at his feet mass of snakeS-at least
fifty, he estimated. There were big snakes
and little snakes, the largest one being, as
near as he could tell, about twelve feet long,
and the smallest of more circumscribed di-
mansions. There were all varieties in
digenous to the vicinity-black snakes, cop
per snakes, garter snakes, pilots, house
snakes water snakes, ETC., interlaced and
twisted into a mass of color resembling a
chef d'Bugre of an oriental loom or the
crazy patchwork handiwork of society
belle, studded with rubies and sapphires and
emeralds and diamonds Mr.. Crouthamel
many seconds, but returned home imme-
diately for his gun.
Now and then he stopped along the way
long enough to tell a passing neighbor the
wonderful story, and when he was ready to
return with his trusty shotgun, that had
doomed many rabbit and pheasant to an
untimely stewing pan, twenty-five neigh
bors, including several courageous young
ladies, had assembled to accompany him to
the battlefield A caucus was held and Mr..
Crouthamel was compelled to repeat his
story and infinitely describe each kind of
snake he had seen. A discussion followed as
to what kind of snakes they really were, and
some of the caucus members talked of
going home to consult their schlong book,
that is to say their snake book, so that
they could agree. This was abandoned, how
ever. But the caucus was ill-advised, as
nearly all the snakes had taken opportunity
Of the delay and crawled back into their
dens under the rocks When the assaulting
party arrived but seven remained of all the
fifty snakes, and Mr. Crouthamel, being a
good marksman, soon dispatched these, the
longest of which measured Z feet The
great battle was fought and won.
Homeward their way
The snake party wendell
The schlong story's ended.

Langtry and Bernhardt.
From the Neso York Sun


One Of the funniest things of the season
are the series of pictures which a photo
grapher has made of Langtry and Bern
hardt. They could be called Spring and
Fall. or Nature and Art, or the Is and the
Was. They are hang in Broadway win
dow in the following order: The first repre-
sents Langtry in simple braided stuff
dress. her beautiful hair brushed back, her
entire person without ornament, and almost
stout in her robust health. Bernhardt is
wrapped in huge cloak, wearing hat
from under which projects a mass of frizzled
hair and the pinched little face, her long,
bony arms encased in the inevitable
wrinkled gloves, and their claws clasped in
an attitude of penitence. Bernhardts face
is full front, while Langtry's is sharp profile,
gazing with an amused look at the weird
genius beside her In the next picture
Bernhardt keeps the same attitude, but
Langtry has evidently found out who it is,
and is proportionally amused, for her face
is adorned with positive laugh, and there
is a cast in the eye next to the famous
French actress that seems to invite you to
catch on TO her side partner and see IL you
don't find her as funny as she does. The
portrait of LangtI'y shows how much flesh
She has accumulated during the season. Her
face is as round as an apple, and certainly
these last pictures would never make a
reputation for ethereal beauty.

CURIOUS SPECIMENS OF MONEY.
Notes Which Had Been Burned anc
Eaten by Pigs Redeemed.
FyOin the Wdshin1ton Poat

From the Washington Fost.
Some curious specimens of mutilated notes
have recently been presented at the United
States Treasury for redemption. One of
these consisted of about 500 in national
bank notes, which had been placed in a
small tin can for security, but which after
wards caught fire in some unknown way
and were burned to crisp. When recovered
they resembled nothing except black char
red mass. The package was submitted to
experts, and notes to the amount of $50
were taken from it in small sections and
easily identified A check to that amount
was mailed to the owner.
Another case was where the experts were
called upon TO examine small pieces of pulp,
which it was explained was all that re
manned of pocllet-book containing about
500. which Western farmer had dropped
in field while at work and which had been
torn piecemeal by one of his pigs, who had
acknowledgement it until it began 10 taste
badly, and had then spit it out in pieces as
he trudged along the pasture. All that could
be found were sent TO the Treasury and
enough remnants were discovered to en-
title the farmer to the sum of $40 in good
money.
